Pisa – Como

Komo will obtain the third consecutive victory.

Pisa earned important points last Saturday. The Nerazzurri were guests in Genoa, where they faced Genoa. The rivals exchanged early chances, and such a brisk start boded well for goals. By the 15th minute the hosts took the lead. Colombo's long-range shot hit the corner of Shemper's goal. Torri began to respond. First Genoa hit the crossbar, but a few minutes later a sequence of mistakes on a free kick led to Leris' goal. The second half, surprisingly, was much more subdued. The bottom half rivals, it seems, were quite satisfied with a draw. A round earlier, Gilardino's side were beaten by Juventus without much resistance. Como won the second straight round. On Saturday the Biancoblù hosted Udinese. In the 18th minute the hosts went ahead after a successful penalty conversion. Cesc Fabregas's side did not ease up and had several chances before the break. The start of the second half, however, Como faltered. The Friulians managed to score, but the goal was disallowed after a VAR intervention. The hosts recovered, took control of the game, tested Padelli's goal frame for durability, and finished the match with a respectable victory. A round earlier Como easily crushed Lecce 3-0. Pisa is playing terribly at the Arena Garibaldi. In nine home matches the Torri have won only one and drawn three. They defeated Alberto Gilardino's Cremonese, and among the draws only the 0-0 with Lazio stands out. At the same time the team trailed 0-2 to Juventus and Inter, and 0-1 to Parma, Udinese and Roma. Of course, the matches against teams from the upper part of the table will be the most indicative for the prognosis. It is worth noting that the Nerazzurri are behind according to the xGA metric. Statistically, Pisa, in home fixtures, should have conceded 4.9 more goals. Como is not the most away-friendly team. Nevertheless, the Biancoblù on the road beat Lecce 0-3, Torino 5-1 and Fiorentina 2-1. They lost to Roma, Inter and Bologna, and shared points with Napoli, Parma and Atalanta. Essentially only dropping points with the Crusaders could be considered a disaster. Como is stronger than the opponent in many aspects and will prove it on Tuesday.
